Lamb of God's Randy Blythe Acquitted in Czech Manslaughter Trial

Prague court clears singer after nearly a year

Randy Blythe is free. A Czech court has acquitted the Lamb of God singer of manslaughter charges, ITV reports. A spokesperson for Prague's Municipal Court confirmed Blythe's acquittal to WRIC in Richmond, Virginia, where the metal band is based.

The singer shared the news on Instagram, paying his respects to Nosek and thanking fans for standing by him. "I am a free man," he wrote. "Please remember the family of Daniel Nosek in your thoughts & prayers in this difficult time. I only wish for them peace. Thank you for your support- Randy."

Blythe might not be completely off the hook. Prosecutors have appealed the verdict, WRIC reports. They had wanted a five-year prison term in the case.
